Tim told the group about the history of jewelry, and that one of the earliest forms was made with clay beads threaded onto a torq.
The pupils were then shown how to make beads by taking a small piece of white air-drying clay and rolling it around in the palm of their hands. They could also roll the bead around on a flat surface if they wished. Then Tim showed them how to pierce a hole carefully in the centre of the bead with a cocktail stick.
The students were also shown how to make long, thin beads, but these had to be treated with more care, as they could be fragile. The best size for these beads is about a half inch. Piercing a hole through this type of bead is more difficult than through the round beads.
There was another method of making beads, which was by cutting into a thin layer of clay with shaped cutters. There was the opportunity to make a variety of shapes and this time a hole needed to be pierced towards the edge of the shape. The hole needs to be reasonably wide, so that the copper or silver wire fits through it.
The pupils set to work and produced a great number and variety of beads, which were left to dry for a few days....
